No pilot "wants" to eject. There is a high possibility of being injured, usually to the head, neck & back, even with the modern Martin-Baker & BF Goodrich ejections seats.
During a high-risk flight, the possibility of ejecting outside parameters is quite high, such as the recent F-22 crash where the pilot got killed during a high-speed ejection.
There have been pilots who eject once and ended their career due to injuries.
